Severity: wishlist.

With the current master branch, it's now easy to hide the mode line in
specific buffers/windows, with the new 'mode-line-invisible-mode'.

But then, in a multi-window layout with some windows stacked
vertically, it becomes important to have a window divider at the
bottom edge of each window, to visually distinguish them.  This can be
achieved with:
  (setq window-divider-default-places t)
  (window-divider-mode 1)

But that setup isn't entirely satisfactory to me, because I don't want
_every_ window to show a bottom divider; I'd like to have the bottom
divider _only_ in windows where the mode line is hidden.

In other words, I=E2=80=99d prefer _not_ to have a window displaying both i=
ts
mode line and bottom divider -- I don't need/want both of them.

So, would it be possible to add a feature to window-divider-mode
whereby a window's bottom divider is shown only when its mode-line is
hidden?

TIA.

BTW, in my setup, the mode-line face has a :box property, so each mode
line is rendered with a box around it.  As a result, showing both the
mode line and the bottom divider looks bad (at least to me).
